TO NEW MEXICO.
GARRETT'S TRIP FOR HEALTH,

New YORK, October 22.-Mr. Robert
Garrett, late President of the B. &. o. 4,
Co., leaves III the morning for a trip triI
to Mexico and the west This occasion
brought up for condemnation some pub.
locations recently made in two or three
papers rejecting on Mr.. Garrett's personal
and business habits. They were pro-
nounced aud gross exaggera;ions, and
largely untrue.
Said Mr.. d. II Bates, President of the
b. & o. Telegraph Co, to reporter:
Il have breakfastcd, lunched aud dined
with Mr.. Garrett, rlore than fifty times in
the past five years, frequently in the CEN
trail building IN Baltimore, aud never but
once was there wine or liquor served, and
OH that occasion Mr.. Garrett partook but
sparingly. causing he TO remark
upon his abstemlOusness. Many Of
my engagements with him were early
in the morning, generally before
8 o'clock, and never had to wait, but al
wayssfound him on hand, upon my arrival,
with considerable part of his official
mail already disposed Of" He was syste-
matte in his methods, and dispatch bust
ness with remarkable rapidity, which
showed we'll trained mind, under perfect
control.
There has been good deal Of criticism
as to the B. & o. K. X. Co. being concerned
in q telegraph system, and much specula-
ton has been INDUCED in, and differences
drawn which are unwarranted by facts.
"As regards the statement that the b. 4
o. telegraph has been an item OF expense to
the railroad company of $50, 900 month
for the past five years, that statement is
untrue. There has, i'll fact, been no loss
whatever 10 the T. & o. Railroad Company
or the b. Il o. Telegraph Company from
the operation of the telegraph system up
to last April. Since then, influences
largely beyond Geographic control, have
caused falling oil, but the entire loss for
the past six months ending September 30,
has been less than the amount paid over
during the same period by the telegraph
TO the railroad company for the the use OF
wires and offices on the line of the Il. q o.
railroad"
The b & o extensions began under my
direction in 1884, and were practically all
completed in 1885. A limited mileage of
additional wires on trunk lines only, be-
ing added in 1886 and 1887. The Condi-
ton of these lines and business done and
their capacity for business, were clearly
shown in interviews with DR.. Green and
myself, published q few days ago. Whether
a railroad company may be properly inter
ested in Geographic system need not he
considered, and refer to the subject only
toshowthe injustice Of the criticism made on
Mr.. CARROTS connection with u telegraph.
The public and the press have been so
much benefited as TO lead us to expect at
least fair dealing for the master spirit in
the enterprise"

Railway murder mystery been solved
The identification OF the murdered girl

THE ALPHA FAILURE.
The Great Rival of the Standard OIL
Company Goes Under.

Company Goes Under.
CHICAGO, Ill, October GA special
to the Tribune from Detroit sayG: The
managers of the Alpha Oil Company, the
Young rival of the Standard Oil Monopoly,
have made an assignment. Its capital
with that OF branch Institutions, was So
coo, 900. It's leading spirits are the most
prominent men of Detroit and Michigan,
with sprinkling Of Cleveland million
aires. Judge Isaac Marston is Secretary
and Treasurer OF the International OIL
Company, which has the same patents AZ
the Alpha, the American branch OF The Or
ganizstinn. He says the international
Company is not affected by the troubles OF
the Alpha Company, and that the latter
concern will be reOrganized and continue.
The whole interests OF both the Alpha
and the International Companies are
founded Oh the inventions OF 1. u. Hall,
of Chicago, who had his process OF refining
patented in the United States and Canada
and all the European countries, including
Russia. The procuring If the pat
ents cost 1000. The international
Oil Refinery Company of Michigan was
formed in July last. 1t owns eight-twelfths
of the United States and European patents.
The Alpha company, on the Canadian
side, was capitalized for 81 200, 600, and
on the American side, the branch which
depended on the same discoveries OF Hall,
was capitalized at $1,000, 900. The crisis
was recently reached. Money had been so
lavishly spent that the supply gave out:
The wages of wOrkmen were not paid and
law suits were commenced, representing
claims of the labOring men. The company
decided its property to Mr. Hall for $780,
900 and Hall assigned to Mr.. Mayer Thur
Der, of Marquette. According to the rec
ords this leaves Mr.. Thurber as practical
owner. The outcome will be matter OF
great financial moment in Detroit and
Michigan. The company had constructed
a pipe line to the Canadian oil fields, built
machine shops and started bank to con-
duct its finances

of Abraham Lincoln was unveiled this
afternoon at Lincoln Park, in the presence
of large crowd that had braved the chilly

trustees of the Bates Fund, ont OF which

A HORNET NEST
Ready to Swarm About Mr.. Chamberlain's
Ear-Canadians Enraged.


Ear-Canadians Enraged.
NEW YORK, October 22.-An Ottawa
special says: Without waiting to arrive
in Canada, the British Fisheries Commits
sioner, Mr.. Chamberlain, has, in giving
free expression TO hisviews on the question
OF commercial union, and the relationship
between Canada and Great Britain on the
fisheries question, succeeded in raising a
hornets nest, that waits to swarm about
his cars when he arrives on this side of the
Atlantic. The press of Canada, generally,
irrespective Of party policies, is already
taking exception TO his utterances at Birm-
ingham, in which he is reported as having
said, In referring 10 the fisheries question,
that in the present case, Great Britain is
III position, which ia almost that of au
impartial observer, not directly Or imme-
distely concerned in the controversy
raised.
In his BelfAt speech he said CONNER
cial union with the United States meant
free trade between America and the
Dominion, and protective tariff against
the mother country, which practically
meant political separation from Great
Britain, and this has raised the indignation
of those who are endeavOring TO extend
existing commercial relations between
Canada and the United States The Free
Press, one nj the leading Liberal organs,
charges him with ignorance of Canadian
affairs, qualification not likely to assist
him in his duties of adjudicatine the in
tereSts Of Canada on the fisheries COM
mission. While his pronounced determi-
nation TO oppose closer commercial inter
course, brands him as an enemy of
reciprocity any any enlargement Of trade
relations between the United States and
Canada. Prof Goodwin Smith is Of
the opinion that Mr.. Chamberlain
must have been wrongly reported,
as in private letter to friend recently,
he speaks of himself as imper(ectly in
formed as to the internal policy of the Do
minion. He thinks it remarkable fact
that Mr.. Chamberlain, as an ambassador,
should undertake TO make such positive
declaration on q question he processes 10
know nothing about, and that the system
which intrusts negotiations concerning
Canada's interests to other than Canadian
hands is an extremely dangerous one. 1t
is said in official circles here that the sug-
gestiOn Of Lord Duflerin that Chamberlain
should consult Sir John Macdonald before
going 10 Washington, was prompted by his
knowledge of Chamberlain's lack of inlOr
nation regarding Canadian affairs, and his
seeming indifference to the interests of the
Dominion.
